One of the greatest artifacts of the ancient imperial culture of China is the Long Pao, a robe graced with yellowish dragon patterns made exclusively for the emperor during the Qing Dynasty. Although it wasn’t the highest grade of imperial attire, it was highly revered because of its auspiciousness and ability to last, which warranted it as a hereditament.
Lucky for punters, they won’t need to travel to China to see one of them or learn about the royals who had the privilege to don one. All they will have to do is launch the brand new Long Pao Slot from NetEnt and prepare for a fascinating history lesson told in a winsome Chinese Manhua-style as they bask in wins of up to 3000 times of what they put on the line!

Rules
Just like the majority of NetEnt slots, Long Pao utilizes a simple coin-based algorithm. The good thing about this is that you can choose coin values of less than 1, thus extending your playtime with a bigger coin bankroll.
After selecting your preferred coin value (0.01-1) with the side-to-side green buttons on the bottom right side of the grid, go ahead and select your preferred coin wager with the buttons on the right. This can be anything from 25 to 250 coins. With the coin bet set at the minimum (25), you will be staking $25 per spin when the coin value is set at maximum (1) and $0.25 when the coin value is set at the lowest coin value (0.01).
For those seasoned players who have come across the original Jack Hammer vs. Evil Dr. Wuten Slot, they will immediately notice that Long Pao is a duplicate, mechanism & layout-wise. There are, however, some notable differences such as the potential boost from just 25000 coins to 750000 coins, a switch from low to medium-high variance, and transition from a €0.01-500 to €0.25-250 bet range.
Wild Substitutions
A card with the game’s title on it in Chinese logograms is the wild. It is not worth something alone but it can substitute all the regular symbols to complete a winning combination.
The regular symbols include the usual blackjack low-payers, a medium-paying sword, and high-paying royals who can dish out impressive base rewards of up to 1000 times your bet!
Sticky Wins
Whenever there is a win, the triggering symbols will stick and activate a re-spin. The re-spins will continue as long as each results into a winning combination.
Bonus Round
The Sticky Wins feature also comes in handy when triggering the bonus round. This is because it automatically activates if instead of 5, you manage to land only 3 or 4 scatters. With 3 or 4 scatters locked in place, it’s not that hard to get additional ones during re-spins.
| Scatters | Number of Free Spins |
| >5 | >10 |
| >6 | >15 |
| >7 | >20 |
| >8 | >25 |
| >9-15 | >30 |
All the wins in the free spins will be boosted with a 3X multiplier. This together with the Sticky Wins feature could see punters bag wins as big as €75000 on a single round!

Conclusion
Although a clone of a previous NetEnt slot mechanism-wise, Long Pao is a superbly designed slot that tackles a very unique Chinese concept. This sets it apart from other oriental slots, not to mention its high-variance that could see hardcore punters walk away with life-changing wins.
If this slot leaves you yearning for more Chinese Manhua-style slots from NetEnt, you can give the Fortune Rangers slot a go. You can also check out other oriental slots such as the Great Archer from D-Tech and the Great Wall from iSoftBet.
